President Joe Biden's speech at the Democratic National Convention was delayed, starting at 11:25 p.m. EDT and ending past midnight, leading to speculation by 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts that the DNC intentionally scheduled it late to limit viewership. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee criticized Biden's speech on Newsmax, alleging it was filled with lies, particularly accusing Biden of misrepresenting former President Donald Trump's comments on the Charlottesville rally. Anderson Cooper of CNN dismissed the DNC's explanation that the delay was due to 'raucous applause,' suggesting that convention planners should have anticipated such interruptions. The late start resulted in some scheduled speakers and performers being cut from the program, further fueling controversy around the event's organization.
